dither? ... no, I don't think it would make that amount of noise.

the lineage looks copied, perhaps the text file was written by a person who got a batch of tapes from the same taper and this one was recorded a little different (32kHz) and transferred analog, and the lineage above was for some of the other tapes that were done after the person doing the transfers got an upgrade. really speculating to the max here lol

pretty much back where we started, I agree it doesn't look like the lineage is quite correct and it looks lossless.
